Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Careone At Teaneck during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident did not receive enough food and fluids to maintain their health, as observed and documented by surveyors.
A facility did not complete a thorough investigation after a family member reported that a CNA received $100 from a resident via a cash app. The investigation only included a statement from the accused CNA and did not include interviews with the resident or other relevant staff and residents, contrary to facility policy. Both the DON and Social Services Director confirmed the investigation was incomplete.
A resident who required small bites of food was not provided with her selected dinner of grilled steak and was instead served a beef and Asian noodle dish. On another occasion, she ordered strawberry ice cream but received chocolate ice cream, despite her written preference. The Dietary Manager substituted menu items and acknowledged the errors, and the DON confirmed that residents are supposed to have their meal choices accommodated.
A resident with Parkinson's disease who required specialized eating utensils did not receive them during a meal, despite facility policy and documentation indicating their need. Staff confirmed the omission was a mistake, and the DON acknowledged the importance of providing the adaptive utensils for proper self-feeding.
A CNA accepted money from a resident who relied on the CNA for personal care, even though the CNA had completed training on abuse, neglect, and misappropriation, which included instructions not to accept gifts or money from residents. Facility records and staff interviews confirmed that the training addressed these issues.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment was denied her planned outing with her son when an agency nurse told her she could not leave the facility without a physician’s order. The resident said her NP knew about the plan, her CNA helped her get ready, and her son arrived to take her to dinner, but she was not allowed to go and missed the family visit. The DON stated the resident should have been allowed to leave for the outing and that the nurse denied her right to do so.
Misappropriation of Resident Funds: A CNA received $100 from a resident's Cash App account after the resident allegedly offered it as a birthday gift. The resident had a frontal lobe malignancy, needed substantial to maximum assistance with ADLs, and had documented communication difficulty. A family member later found the transaction after the resident's death, while the facility's investigation did not substantiate abuse or mistreatment and noted staff were not to accept gifts from residents.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and diagnoses including anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia was prescribed PRN lorazepam for anxiety, but the order did not include the required 14-day limit. The MAR showed the medication was given daily beyond 14 days, while the care plan had no anxiety plan or documented NPI use. An LPN entered the order without an end date, and the DON confirmed the missing end date and lack of care plan documentation.
A resident was admitted with a stage II pressure ulcer and sacral redness, but no wound treatment orders were in place on admission. The EMR showed the resident was at risk for pressure ulcers and had a care plan for impaired skin integrity related to impaired mobility, yet the first order for zinc oxide to the sacral area was not entered until several days later. Staff interviews confirmed that an air mattress was expected for a resident admitted with a stage II pressure ulcer.
Improper PEG Tube Medication Administration: A resident with NSTEMI, HF, AFib, and gastrostomy status had orders for Metoprolol Succinate ER and Aspirin EC via PEG tube with instructions not to crush, yet an RN crushed the meds, mixed them together, and administered them all at once through the tube. The RN used chewable aspirin instead of the ordered EC form and acknowledged Metoprolol ER should not have been crushed; the resident stated the meds were given together and then flushed.
Incomplete Documentation of Tube Feeding Administration: The facility failed to keep complete clinical records for a resident receiving Jevity via g-tube. The MAR showed multiple missed bolus feedings, and there were no corresponding nursing progress notes documenting the missed doses. During interview, the DON stated the Jevity needed to be documented to ensure the resident received care.
Broken Bed Left in Resident Room: A resident admitted for orthopedic aftercare following a right knee replacement, with moderate cognitive impairment, was observed in a bed with the foot of the frame and mattress collapsed to the floor. The resident said she had not slept well because the bed was broken and she could not keep her bad leg positioned properly. A roommate said the resident had asked staff to replace the bed on arrival, but nothing was done, and a CNA who saw the problem did not respond or report it.
QAA committee meetings were not held at least quarterly as required by facility policy. Records showed quarterly meetings in 07/24, 11/24, 01/25, and 04/25, with no evidence of a meeting in 10/24. The Administrator stated the meeting was moved to 11/24 because the IP was on vacation and the required members would not have met the federal requirement if it had been held in 10/24.
The facility failed to follow physician orders and document medication administration for multiple residents, including not checking SBP before administering Midodrine HCl, administering medication outside of specified parameters, and failing to document various treatments and medications.
The facility failed to accurately code the MDS for a resident who was transferred to the hospital due to respiratory distress, incorrectly indicating discharge to home or lesser care. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged the error.
The facility failed to accurately document a resident's condition and transfer to the hospital, with missing nursing documentation on several dates. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses and intact cognition, was transferred for chest pain and admitted with atrial fibrillation and pneumonia. Interviews revealed that documentation was expected every shift, but this was not followed.
Failure to Provide Adequate Food and Fluids
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide sufficient food and fluids to maintain a resident's health. This deficiency was identified by surveyors based on observations and records indicating that the nutritional and hydration needs of at least one resident were not adequately met. The report specifically notes the lack of provision of adequate food and fluids necessary for the resident's health maintenance.
Failure to Thoroughly Investigate Allegation of Misappropriation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation into an allegation of misappropriation involving one resident. According to the facility's policy, all allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or misappropriation are to be thoroughly investigated, including interviews with the resident involved, their representative, staff members on all shifts who had contact with the resident during the period of the alleged incident, the resident's roommate, and family members. In this case, a family member reported that a certified nurse aide received $100 from the resident via a cash app. The facility's investigation only included a statement from the accused staff member, who admitted to receiving the money as a gift, and did not include statements from the resident or other relevant individuals. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the Social Services Director confirmed that the investigation was incomplete, as it did not follow the facility's established procedures for interviewing all necessary parties. The lack of a comprehensive investigation into the allegation of misappropriation meant that the facility did not fully document or address the incident as required by its own policy.
Failure to Honor Resident Food Preferences and Choices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to honor a resident's food preferences as documented in her menu selections. The resident, who required small bites of food, ordered a grilled steak for dinner but was instead served a beef and Asian noodle dish. The resident saved the uneaten meal from the previous night and presented her menu selection sheet, which clearly indicated her choice of grilled steak. The Dietary Manager later explained that he substituted the beef lo Mein for the grilled steak, believing it was an appropriate alternative due to the same meat content and the resident's need for small bites. Additionally, the same resident ordered strawberry ice cream for her noon meal but was served chocolate ice cream instead. The resident had handwritten her preference for two strawberry ice creams on her menu, which was verified by the CNA who delivered the meal. The Dietary Manager acknowledged that this may have been a mistake. The facility's policy states that menus are developed to meet resident choices, and the Director of Nursing confirmed that residents are provided with alternate meal options to accommodate their preferences.
Failure to Provide Required Adaptive Eating Utensils
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident with Parkinson's disease, who was cognitively intact and required specialized handled utensils for eating, did not receive the necessary built-up eating utensils during a meal. The facility's policy required adaptive devices to be provided for residents who need or request them, and documentation indicated that the resident used specialized utensils. Observation confirmed that the resident did not receive the required utensils with her meal tray, and staff interviews revealed this was due to a mistake, despite the computer system indicating the utensils should have been included. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the importance of providing these utensils to enable the resident to feed herself properly.
CNA Accepted Money from Dependent Resident Despite Training on Misappropriation
Penalty
Summary
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) accepted money from a resident who was dependent on the CNA for personal needs, despite having completed training on abuse, neglect, and exploitation, which included information on misappropriation and the prohibition of accepting gifts or money from residents. Record review showed that the CNA had documentation of completing required training, and the facility's job description and assessment documents emphasized the importance of staff education on resident rights and abuse prevention. During an interview, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the training covered the relevant topics and that staff were instructed not to accept gifts or money from residents, even if offered as a gift.
Resident Denied Family Outing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident’s right to make choices about her life, including interacting with family members in the community. R78’s record showed she was admitted to the facility and had an admission MDS with a BIMS score of 12 out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. During an interview, R78 stated that her son came into town over the weekend and they planned to go to an Asian restaurant for dinner. She said her NP visited her that morning and was aware of the plan, and her CNA helped her get dressed and ready for her son’s arrival. R78 stated her son arrived at the facility to pick her up at about 4:00 PM, but the nurse on duty told her she could not leave without a physician’s order. The resident stated the nurse made no effort to obtain a verbal order, and she did not get to go to dinner with her son before he returned home to another state. During interview, the DON stated the resident should have been allowed to leave for the family outing, that the nurse who denied the outing was an agency nurse, and that the nurse should have consulted regular facility nursing staff. The DON stated it was within R78’s right to leave the campus for a family outing and that the resident was denied that right.
Misappropriation of Resident Funds
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from misappropriation of property when a CNA received $100 from the resident's Cash App account. The resident was admitted with a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of the frontal lobe, had difficulty with understanding/communicating noted in the care plan, and the MDS indicated a BIMS score of 15 out of 15 with cognitive intactness, along with impairments to both upper and lower extremities and the need for substantial to maximum assistance with all ADLs. A family member later reviewed the resident's bank statement after the resident's death and identified the $100 transaction, stating it should not have occurred whether or not it was consensual because the resident was ill. The facility's investigation documented that the CNA claimed the resident offered the money as a birthday gift and that she initially refused before accepting it. The facility stated police were contacted but did not continue the investigation because there was no longer a victim, and the facility did not substantiate abuse, neglect, or mistreatment or determine that misappropriation occurred when the CNA received the money. The DON stated staff should not share gifts with residents, and the Administrator stated staff were not to accept gifts from any resident.
PRN Lorazepam Order Lacked Required 14-Day Limit
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to include a 14-day limit in the physician’s order for a PRN psychotropic medication for one resident. The resident had an admission MDS with an ARD of 07/01/25 showing an admission date of 06/18/25, a BIMS score of 2 out of 15 indicating severe cognitive impairment, and diagnoses of anxiety disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. The resident was prescribed lorazepam 0.5 mg every 6 hours as needed for anxiety, with a start date of 07/05/25, and the facility policy stated PRN psychotropic medications are limited to 14 days unless the prescriber documents a rationale and duration for extension. Review of the resident’s care plan showed no care plan for anxiety, lorazepam, or non-pharmacological interventions. The July 2025 MAR showed lorazepam was administered daily from 07/05/25 through 07/29/25 except for three days, and the order did not include an end date. An LPN stated she entered the order but did not know about an end date, later confirming the 14-day limit was only documented in progress notes and not in the order. The DON confirmed there was no end date, no anxiety care plan, and no NPI documented for the lorazepam use, and the RPh stated there generally should be a limit and NPI documentation.
Failure to Obtain Wound Orders and Implement Pressure Ulcer Prevention on Admission
Penalty
Summary
Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing was not met for one resident who was admitted with a stage II pressure ulcer and sacral redness, early signs of a pressure ulcer. Review of the resident’s EMR showed the resident was admitted to the facility and the Resident Evaluation documented the stage II pressure ulcer upon admission. The admission MDS indicated the resident was at risk for pressure ulcers and triggered a care area assessment for pressure ulcers, with a care plan entry noting risk for alteration in skin integrity related to impaired mobility. The resident did not have wound treatment orders upon admission, and the first physician order for zinc oxide external ointment to the sacral area was not entered until three days after admission. The care plan was updated later to include wound consultation and care and an air mattress, and staff noted that an attempt was made to call the wound doctor but there was no return call. During interviews, the LPN stated that residents admitted with a stage II pressure ulcer were currently placed on air mattresses, and the DON stated she would expect the admitting physician to be notified if there were no skin care orders from the hospital and that staff should place the resident on an air mattress upon admission if the resident had a stage II pressure ulcer.
Improper PEG Tube Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medication orders were followed and medications were administered through a PEG tube according to standard practice for one resident with a history of NSTEMI, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and gastrostomy status. The resident’s orders included Metoprolol Succinate ER 50 mg via PEG tube daily with instructions not to crush, and Aspirin EC 81 mg via PEG tube daily with instructions not to crush. The resident’s record also showed a May crush meds where manufacturer permits order, but there was no evaluation documented for administering crushed medications together or for potential drug interactions. On the morning of the survey observation, the RN administered the resident’s medications by crushing them and placing them together in the same cup before flushing them through the gastrostomy tube. The RN stated he crushed all the medications and did not administer them one by one with flushing in between. When questioned, he confirmed that the aspirin order was enteric coated but used chewable aspirin instead, and he acknowledged that the order should have been changed before administration. He also confirmed that Metoprolol Succinate ER should not have been crushed. The resident stated that his medications were administered all at once into the gastrostomy tube and then flushed with water. The resident also reported that he sometimes experienced abdominal pain but did not know whether it was related to medications or feedings. The DON stated medications should not be crushed and administered together, confirmed Metoprolol ER should not be crushed, and stated there should have been an order for chewable aspirin if that formulation was used. The pharmacist stated medications are generally separated and that there should be something documented if practice goes outside policy, and confirmed Metoprolol should not be crushed.
Incomplete Documentation of Tube Feeding Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure clinical records were complete for one of three residents reviewed for tube feeding orders, Resident 26. Review of the resident’s electronic medical record showed a physician order for Jevity 1.2, 237 mL via bolus/gravity through a gastrostomy tube five times a day, beginning on 06/04/25 and continuing until discontinued on 07/18/25. The facility policy titled Medication Orders stated it established uniform guidelines in receiving and recording medication orders. Review of the MAR showed missed Jevity bolus administrations that were not supported by corresponding nursing progress notes. For the June MAR, the resident did not receive Jevity on 06/09/25 at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM, 06/10/25 at 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 2:00 PM, and 06/24/25 at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. For the July MAR, the resident did not receive Jevity on 07/24/25 at 2:00 PM and 07/27/25 at 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, and 2:00 PM. During interview, the DON stated the Jevity needed to be documented to ensure the resident received care.
Broken Bed Left in Resident Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that resident care equipment was maintained in safe operating condition for one resident who was admitted with diagnoses including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and orthopedic aftercare following a right knee replacement. The resident’s admission MDS documented a BIMS score of 10 out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. During observation, the resident was found in bed with the foot of the bed frame and mattress pointed downward at an approximate 90-degree angle, with the frame and mattress resting on the floor, and the resident stated she had not slept well because her bed was broken and she could not sleep with her bad leg hanging down like that. The resident’s roommate stated the resident had asked the nurse to switch the bed out when she arrived, but nothing was done. When a CNA entered the room and was shown the bed, the CNA looked at it, shrugged, and left without responding to the concern or reporting it to another staff member. The DON later stated she was unaware of the situation before being told about it and confirmed that the resident’s need for a functioning bed should have been addressed when staff were informed of the problem.
QAA Committee Did Not Meet Quarterly
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the quality assessment and assurance (QAA) committee met at least quarterly. Review of the facility’s Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program-Governance and Leadership policy dated 03/20 stated that the committee meets at least quarterly, or more often as necessary, and that members are reminded of the meeting day, time, and location by email at least two business days before the meeting. However, review of the facility’s Quality Assurance & Performance documents showed quarterly QAA meetings on 07/30/24, 11/19/24, 01/16/25, and 04/24/25, with no evidence of a quarterly QAA meeting held on 10/24. During interview, the Administrator stated the QAA meeting was held in 11/24 instead of 10/24 because the Infection Preventionist was on vacation, and if the meeting had been held in 10/24 the required members would not have met the federal requirement.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders and Document Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain professional standards of nursing practice by not following physician orders for three residents and failing to document the administration of medications and treatments for three residents. For Resident #19, the facility did not ensure that the systolic blood pressure (SBP) was checked before administering Midodrine HCl, as required by the physician's order. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) admitted that there was no documentation to prove that the SBP was taken at the time of administration. For Resident #72, the facility administered Midodrine HCl even when the resident's SBP was above the specified parameter of 130. Additionally, the facility failed to document several treatments and medications, including skin prep, moisture barrier cream, incentive spirometry therapy, Celebrex, Nuplazid, pain scores, and side effect tracking. These omissions occurred on multiple dates and shifts, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with physician orders and documentation requirements. Resident #196 also experienced similar issues, with the facility failing to document the administration of quetiapine fumarate, disruptive behavior tracking, pain scores, side effect tracking, vital signs, and wound care treatments. For Resident #197, the facility did not follow the physician's order to hold Midodrine HCl when the SBP was above 150 and administered the medication after the specified time. The facility also failed to document vital signs, incentive spirometry, and wound care treatments on multiple occasions. These deficiencies were discussed with the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), and interim DON, but no additional information was provided.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Discharged Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for one resident. Specifically, Resident #89 was discharged from the facility, and the Discharge Return Anticipated MDS dated 11/21/23 incorrectly indicated that the resident was discharged to home or lesser care. However, a review of the resident's progress notes on the same date revealed that the resident had been transferred to the hospital due to increased respiratory distress and chest congestion. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged the error during an interview on 2/21/24. The facility's policy requires that any person completing any portion of the MDS assessment certifies the accuracy of that portion, which was not adhered to in this case.
Failure to Accurately Document Resident's Condition and Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow professional standards and practices to accurately document in the medical record the status of a resident's progress or changes in condition. Specifically, the medical record for a resident who was transferred to the hospital was found to have missing nursing documentation on several dates, including the day of the transfer. The resident, who had intact cognition and multiple diagnoses such as hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus II, was transferred to the hospital for chest pain and was admitted with atrial fibrillation and pneumonia. However, the timeline of events provided by the facility was not documented in the resident's electronic health record (EHR). Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) revealed that it is the facility's expectation for nursing staff to document every shift in the EHR under progress notes. Despite this expectation, the surveyor found missing documentation for several days. The facility's policies on charting and documentation, as well as acute condition changes, were reviewed and indicated that changes in the resident's condition should be documented. An LPN interviewed confirmed that skilled nursing notes should be documented daily, especially for residents experiencing changes in condition or being transferred out of the facility.
